Kalahari desert

The Kalahari lion
the only lion with a black mane (crinière)
He ate last night and has a full belly
This female Kudu runs away from us
while a springbok stares at us
The rain brings beautiful morning colors to the desert
where few trees grow
and flowers blossom in the bushes
a big male kori bustard (outarde) goes by
water attracts hundred of birds
this elegant steinbok stares at me
and scratches its back
the ground squirrel fears raptors
like the Bateleur Eagle
it swells its tail...
to get shade from the burning sun
a couple of Oryxes watch us
and go back to their mating ritual
looked upon by this double band curser
Will the Oryx chase the cheetahs(guépards) from the shade ?
